Climate Change

I am not entirely convinced by the climate change hypothesis about CO2. The climate of the earth changes every so often as a result of natural changes. However, what difference are we going to make to this climatic change when the greatest polluters like the USA, Russia and China have no intention of changing their ways. I think you will alienate millions of natural conservative voters by bringing in extra surcharges on foreign travel. If a £40 surcharge on every flight was really going to save the planet then OK, but that is not going to happen and it will just be considered as another Gordon Brown style of stealth tax. If the Conservatives really want to be seen as green, than they need to get Kyote agreements from every country in this World. Otherwise, you are just settling extra tax burdens on this country without making the slightest difference to climate change. Bit like the useless legislation on replacement windows - document L.
